Fair result in the end I would say, Arsenal stepped up second half and we relaxed a bit and offered nothing going forward. Thought we defended well all night apart from their goal where we fell asleep. Hudson-Odoi brilliant, Morata less so. Jorginho class again and can only look better next to Kante. Now to my big concern and question for you all, does anyone genuinely believe that Alonso or Emerson are good enough to start LB for us? I see teams absolutely ripping us apart down that left hand side. Not to mention if Azpi gets injured, then we are really screwed. Perhaps we could try out Rudiger and move Azpi back to LB like the Rafa and Jose days?

I don’t think either of them have ever been good LBs. wing back they’re both reliable but I think they’ll get found out playing LB. Especially as your wingers need to cover and Hazard won’t do that all game.

I think rather than looking at a 9th centre back we should find a LB. I wondered the same thing, do we shift azpi over or Moses?

No to moving Azpi out to LB. But feel they are our weak points. Alonso/ Emerson look very exposed in this formation.

For me, Zappa can go, Moses to back up Azpi. A left back is needed for an upgrade on both Emerson and Alonso. Especially if Hazard or Hudson-Odoi play LW and don't track back!

Oh and I forgot to mention I never want to see Zappacosta and Moses playing in the on the same side in the same team ever again lol! Do love Victor Moeee and hope he stays with us though.

It was a friendly with so many personnel changes which affected the balance, not sure how you could be annoyed matt. For me we have a gem in Jorginho and a future Chelsea legend in Hudson Odoi.
